A chatbot's ability to maintain a continuous conversation relies heavily on the application's design rather than solely on the LLM's inherent memory. The application is responsible for preserving and providing relevant conversation history as context for each LLM call, distinguishing this from model training. Developers must carefully select which information to send to the model to optimize token usage, cost, and latency, focusing on what is truly needed for a good response. Furthermore, features like streaming and guardrails are application-level decisions that enhance user experience and reliability, addressing issues such as hallucination by integrating external data and validation.
